Chaturmas 2023: Devshayani Ekadashi is on 30th June this year. For the coming four months from Devshayani Ekadashi, Lord Vishnu, the director of the universe, goes into Yoga Nidra. This four-month period is called Chaturmas. Due to the extra month this year, Chaturmas will last for five months. No auspicious work is done during the period of Chaturmas. After four months of Yoga Nidra, when Lord Vishnu wakes up and comes back to this world on Devotthan Ekadashi in the month of Kartik and gets married to Tulsi ji, then all the auspicious works start again. The period of Chaturmas has been considered very special in Hinduism. It is believed that during this time the operation of the universe is in the hands of Lord Shiva. In such a situation, by doing some work during this time, along with Shri Hari Vishnu, the blessings of Lord Shiva are also received. At the same time, refrain from doing some work during this time. Let's know which work in Chaturmas fulfills the wishes...

What to do in Chaturmas?
Maximum time should be spent in devotion, bhajan, etc. on Chaturmas. Along with this, listening to the story of Lord Satyanarayan during this time is also very beneficial.

One should get up before sunrise every day on Chaturmas and worship Shri Hari Vishnu after taking a bath. According to beliefs, celibacy should be followed in Chaturmas and food should be taken only once a day. In fact, it is said that a person's digestive power is weak in these four months of Sawan, Bhado, Ashwin, and Kartik. That's why food should be taken at the same time.

Shiva ji and Shri Hari Vishnu should be worshiped in Chaturmas. Also during this time, you can recite Vishnu Sahasranamam and Shiv Chalisa. By doing this you get the blessings of Lord Vishnu and Shiva and all your wishes will be fulfilled.

There is the importance of doing five types of donations on Chaturmas. Donate food and clothes in Chaturmas. There is also mention of donating lamps in religious scriptures. Apart from this, go to a temple and donate service.

What should not be done in Chaturmas?
Consumption of garlic-onion, and meat-alcohol should be avoided during Chaturmas. During this time one should avoid starting new work or new business, because the work started at this time does not give auspicious results.

During Chaturmas, one should not even speak harsh words. No such work should be done which will hurt someone.
